Alternatives to Out of School Suspension (ATOSS)

Alternative To Out of School Suspension Centers (ATOSS)

If your child has been suspended for conduct violations and is unable to attend school for up to 10 days, these centers provide a safe and educational alternative to staying home or being marked absent.

The ATOSS program provides a way for youth to keep up with their class work, homework and tests and get extra case management, special education or mental health services if needed. Most of all, it offers an alternative to unsupervised days out of school, giving parents the peace of mind that comes from knowing their kids are engaged in safe, productive activities.
